This is my third Quarterly Reading Challenge Update for 2016. You can visit my second (June) and first (March) updates to see my progress for the year. I’ve done great with all of my challenges except the #ReadMyOwnDameBooks. I’m failing big time on that one =/ !!

The Goodreads Reading Challenge for 2016 is completed as of September. I set my goal for 90 books. Last year I was struggling to meet my goal of 155, so I backed down this year. You can view a list of books I’ve read for this challenge HERE.

Pick Your Genre: Well this was a no brainer Reading Challenge. I went with Paranormal, Urban Fantasy, & Contemporary. The Paranormal and Urban Fantasy I read all the time. I Knocked them both out of the park. As for the Contemporary I went with this one because I wanted to branch out a little more and try other authors and a new genre.

The New To You Challenge was another way for me to branch out and try new authors, series, and genres. It was my first time doing this reading challenge, so picked a small goal and actually exceeded the goal by a lot!

Finishing the Series is an awesome reading challenge. It’s helped me start and finish series I have been wanting to read as well as finish series’s that I’ve started, but didn’t get back around too. I went with only 4 series and am doing well with all of them. The only one I still need to finish is Guild Hunter, but I’m waiting on my library for the next book. Everyone loves the series, so it’s always checked out. ^_^ As for the Night Prince, the last and finally book in that series doesn’t come out until 2017, but I did finally read the third book and get all caught up.

My Goal: Level 2 (Testing the waters)Complete 2 – 4 series (I’m not counting short stories. Only full length novels that are part of a series.)

The #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks Challenge: Well DAME this one is not going well. To many awesome books keep coming out and I just keep getting side tracked. The list below are all the books I’ve bought, but haven’t read. I’m bad at the one-click on #Amazon, when I see a book sale. <Bad Bad Angela> #NoSelfControl

My goals:

Read the books I’ve bought

Try to knock all off the ones listed below in 2016

I can’t buy myself any books until I’ve read a significant amount of my own. Maybe 5-10 before I buy any new ones. I’ll be fairly flexible with this and see where my guilt leads me.

If I’m itching for newness or a book use the library first; before purchasing.

Owner/Review and mind behind Angel’s Guilty Pleasures. However what I am not is a writer. I apologize now for the grammatical and punctuation errors I make, because I know I’m going to make them. I’m a mother, wife, dog owner, animal, and book lover. My favorite animals are horses. As for reading I love all things paranormal & urban fantasy. My favorite shifters are dragons!

I read Devil’s Gate & Hunter’s Season when they where first published and loved both. I’ve been on an audiobook kick and decided to try out Ms. Harrison’s Elder Races series in Audio.
Destiny’s Tarot has the Elder Races Novellas
